Leadership Data Against Bullying (LDAB) Project: An 8-Point Plan That Eliminates or Manage Bullying

Abstract

This research project taught bullying could be eliminated or managed when the Leadership Data Against Bullying (LDAB) project is applied. The formula uses an octagon (eight-point) plan to handle bullying. The plan involves four theories that teach individuals they can control and positively manipulate circumstances that predispose them towards bad behavior: a. Theory of Planned (TPB) prescribes individuals can change and control their behavior, b. General Strain Theory (GST) teaches individuals to navigate strains/vices positively, c. Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) explains individuals will perform favorably when they are equipped, d. Social Control Theory (SCT) teaches moral individuals will not commit crimes. The next step proved servant and transformational leadership styles positively managed the bully. This research also showed implementing earlier education programs proved students would be hesitant to participate in bullying practices. Next, it was shown clinician’s involvement would have a profound impact on aiding the bullying epidemic. Understanding bystander responsibly taught individuals to intervene and help victims. Grooming upstanders were an excellent way to build more victim advocates. Next, it was shown individuals are less likely to bully when they are taught empathy and social skills. Lastly, research showed individuals are less likely to bully when they have severe consequences or made to pay higher fines. The research results from testing four targeted groups: pregnant parents, caretakers of children under 10, children under 10 and bystanders, proved this plan would have a profound impact in managing bullying incidents. Furthermore, the research showed why the congruent octagon formula worked, because each part is just as responsible as the other for eliminating or managing bullying incidents.
